From MC’s Perspective:
After subduing the second subordinate Otto, we left the stall. Otto doesn’t plan to take these junks with him. If he does it will arouse suspicion.
Otto and Patrick are talking. They are going to use their friend’s connection to cross the border. Just as they were about to leave the border.
Otto paused his gaze. He perked up his ears. Seeing that Patrick and I exchanged glances. We knew his magic power. He could hear distant sounds and conversations.
My eyes glead with a twinkle. I valued his magic power. That’s why I selected him.
Otto’s expression turned serious. He did really hear the conversations between the guards.
"Master, hurry up. I just heard crucial information. The Dark Faction has sent a Magic Lord Level team to inspect the border," Otto said in a serious tone.
"Good, let’s go to your friend’s place," I said to him.
"Otto, we can’t afford to waste anymore ti," Patrick said.
Swoosh!
Three of us left the place. After leaving the market, the trio ca to the area where the airships are parked.
It’s one of the ways for the travelers to cross the border naturally. But the majority of the ships belong to the Dark Faction and White Faction.
Very few had private owners. Their friend happened to be one of the private owners. They ca to the place and spotted many ships parked in row.
So ships are large. They have flags representing their factions. Patrick is in disguise. But he is still afraid that soone could recognise him.
Otto is leading the way. His eyes are scanning the ships. His friend’s ship is neither big nor small. He usually transports goods across the border.
At the sa ti, I’m using the system to confirm the presence of the Magic Lords and Forbidden Wizards. The system results ca.
When I read the results, I’m stunned. To my surprise, there are Magic Lords and one Forbidden Wizard sowhere in the ships.
I have entered a tiger den. Then I asked the system to lift up the cover. So that others can sense the magic level.
Otherwise, they might think I’m carrying so kind of treasure. The system lifted up the cover. My eyes filled with relief.
Soon, Otto was brought to a brown ship. The ship is old but renovation work was done. The brown color was a recent paint job.
Otto led us to the desk. There are workers doing their maintenance job. My eyes scanned the entire desk.
"The ship is half loaded," I thought.
Then I saw Otto walking up to the cabin. My eyes turned solemn. These 2 people are under my control but what about their friends?
I have this feeling that it’s not going to end well. We arrived before the cabin. Otto knocked the door.
Creak!
An old man with a crooked tooth walked out. His gaze passes over the three of us. He imdiately recognised Otto and Patrick.
His eyes flashed with a surprise glint. He revealed a greediness without realising it.
"You two co inside," the old man said.
Hearing that I was stunned. But I nodded to both of them. Otto and Patrick went inside.
[Ding! Warning!]
[The person showed greediness.]
A sharp icy glint flashes in my eyes. I knew there was going to be a problem. Then I walked inside, startling three of them.
"Who are you?" The crooked tooth old man asked.
Patrick and Otto were about to defend. I stopped them.
"Hi, my na is Sam. I’m their client. They said you can get to cross the border," I said with a smile.
Hearing that Patrick and Otto were stunned. They imdiately realize the Master has decided to hide his identity. So they cannot speak about him.
The crooked tooth old man was stunned.
"No wonder, these 2 ca together. You are their big client,"he said.
"My na is Brody. This is my airship. I mostly transport goods and sotis people," He replied.
"Trafficking," Patrick snorted.
Brody was displeased. He quickly said,"You brought a client. I forgive you. Don’t you think you can survive with your latest stunts."
"The Dark Factions are looking for you everywhere. Soti ago, a few people ca to inquire about . But I didn’t tell them anything ," he added.
Everyone was stunned. I raised my eyebrows in surprise. If what he says is true, then he can really harm us. But he didn’t do anything.
Patrick’s eyes flickered. He wanted to talk about the Master. But he changed his decision in the end. Since the Master himself is silent. He doesn’t want to cause problems.
Instead he said,"Thank you."
"I won’t do it for free. I need 1000 Super Grade Mana Stones or 10,000 Top Grade Mana Stones," Brody said with a smile.
"Here, it is," After saying that Otto gave him a pouch.
Upon seeing the storage pouch, the old man’s eyes flickered. He took the pouch and checked it.
"It’s exactly 10,000 Top grade stones," He uttered.
After carefully storing it, he turned towards Otto and Patrick.
"Are you guys going as well?" He asked.
"We are escorting him," Otto replied.
"Yes," Patrick replied.
"Hmmm," Brody was curious. But he didn’t ask further.
"Okay, you guys can use one of our cabins. No one is going to disturb you till we cross the border," Brody said.
"Thanks, " I replied.
Then the three of us left the cabin and picked an adjacent cabin. We entered inside and locked the door.
"Can this person be trusted?" I asked.
Otto and Patrick exchanged glances.
"We have known him for decades. He accepted your money. So he won’t betray you. Unless...," Otto said.
"Unless?" I asked back. .
"Unless, the Dark Faction Wizards send people to inspect," Otto replied.
"Don’t worry, if it happens, I’ll have a way to stop it," I replied.
Then we started resting inside the cabin. The ship owner Brody was honest. He didn’t double cross. He was greedy for the money. Now that he got his paynt. He is ready to do his work.
He doesn’t know what the old friends were doing? But he didn’t plan to ask them.
